Thread Name: September Shanty Session (NH)
Subject: RE: September Shanty Session (NH)
Barry was singing a couple of songs I hadn't heard him sing before. Any clue what they were? And what is the name of the song that Garde led that he composed about the lifeboat crew? Garde did a nice job of leading "Powder Monkey" and "Pay Me My Money Down."

I do wish that Jeff and Barbara had led more songs. They did a fine job with "Lovely Nancy."

Mark was in rare form. However, other than Gordon Bok's "Clear Away the Morning" I'm unable to bring up any song titles.

We did get to enjoy two very close versions of "The Banks of Newfoundland" by Tom and Barry (Barry came in late). Barry led "Larry Marr" of the infamous 5-gallon jar.

George led "Domium-a-Day," a story about a sailor overhearing the squire and his lady arranging a trist, with a string dangling out the window, with a happy ending for at least two of the party of the first. George was also in great form.

What is the name of the Irish ballad that Peter led, with a tune inspired by "Edmund Fitzgerald"?

Lynn led "Flash Company" and probably a few more.

Joanne led "Pirate Parts."

I've either got to get more memory or begin to take notes. This is a pathetic summary! Help would be appreciated if anyone else has a clue what they led or what others led.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
